Stallman: Did I say Jobs was evil? I meant really evil

Go back and read the article

He was talking about phones...

Yup

Apple's iOS devices can only install applications approved and distributed by Apple.

They are the opposite of open.

Updating to Windows Phone 7.5

A step backwards

Good one MS, Android updates without a computer, get with the new century.

'Occupy Wherever' movement goes transgalactic

You've all convinced me

I'm off to Finsbury Square to find out for myself, why listen to yours or the BBC's opinions when it's close enough to get the bus over there and ask!

Ballmer disses Android as cheap and complex

All or nothing Giles

Hey Giles, the world is not black or white.

I'm an Android user, I've never dipped into the command line on my phone other than to ping. But you know what? It's not a requirement to use the CLI.

The world works this way, Android is great in that it /lets/ you do more.

Are you one of these people who says the system cannot change, if we don't have Capitalism we have to have Communism? F-off to the Evening Standard or the Daily Mail would yer. :P

Apple's US bid to ban Samsung tabs hinges on design

You know how the Nexus Prime was delayed due to Steve Jobs death?

They shouldn't have done that.

OccupySF BOFH runs protest network on pedal power

Car Charger

The 12v to 5v problem solved, use a car kit.

Despite that oversight, I'm well impressed at how they have taken tech to the front line, I've watched live streams from NY and SF, they are uploading high quality video within an hour or so of big events.

This is now the future of protest, it's easy to ignore a two hour demo outside an office building but a continuing 24hr media event is more noticeable.

Gov to spread mobile masts to remote corners of Blighty

But this is dreamt up by the coalition! Aren't they just going to give it to their tax dodging mates to run and rent out once its set up?

Samsung shows second second-gen 7in Galaxy Tab

Anyone up for an Apple Store Android tablet flashmob?

Google now a serious rival to Microsoft in cloud email

Having implemented Office 365

Everything you say about Gmail is true of O365.

MS, Samsung to show Windows 8 tablet at Build

WinMo6.x had the ability to install locally or over the network from your management server. WinPho7 killed this functionality.

Foxconn churns out '150,000' iPhone 5s a day

Monoculture is bad.

Google's anonymity ban defied by Thomas Jefferson

A friend of mine was recently booted off Facebook...

for using a fake name.

HP's UK PC boss: We're going nowhere

If HP had...

If HP had sold them with Android for the same price as the iPad (That name still makes me think of sanitary towels) it would have been a bigger success than the iPad could ever be.

Mystery railway buys 80 terabytes of Flash

Blimey

Have any of you nay-sayers ever used a RAID array?

RAID can be set up with multiple mirrors as well as redundancy, so if you have a failed array or even two (or how much cash do you want to spend?) your mirrors continue service.

Do you keep your job when your IT is in the cloud?

Are you freaking serious

This guy is clueless, he seems to know nothing about IT. I hope Microsoft isn't totally populated by read-and-repeat-(badly) twats like him.

This video should have been abandoned by the interviewer after the first minute.

Hacking scandal starts to spread beyond News Corp

The Mail and Sun need investigating

Their right-wing hate and scare stories piss me the hell off.

Beeb to fund ad-mungous Local TV for local people

Argh!

Oi cHunt we dont need more broadcast services!!! Forget Local TV, Forget DAB, this can and should be delivered over TCP/IP using the digital dividend.

Google top brass (and Zuck) hit Google+ privacy button

Facebook == Windows 98

You know that feeling you get when you go back to an old unsecured version of windows. It's slow, bits are broken, you don't quite understand why things are so unintuitive?

G+ feels like a new beginning, it is based on a strong security model, everything is shared via groups, when you loose the mindset of Facebook and understand that you know who will see your post the prospect of posting to FB is scary.

Mystery of David Attenborough's garden skull cracked

The Daily Mail

I didn't realise the Hate Mail had been spreading fear for so long.

Microsoft inks Bing deal with Baidu

How Bing grows

First they tried paying people, that didn't work.

Then they made it the default search, people changed it back.

Then they made a phone OS and locked the search to Bing.

Now they sign an exclusive English language search deal with the only real player in a dictatorship!

I'm sure

Microsoft will have no problems with censoring images of Tiananmen Square.

Fox News tweets hacked to show Obama death stories

No Hack

If it were a hack it would have been more positive.

UK operators band together for NFC revenue

Cartell

So the three networks with 2G freq's are at it again eh?

Tory terror changes promise moon on stick

Theresa May?

Theresa May is an extremist!!! Look into her past, I dare you...

NHS Direct

A general comment about Android reviews

Can you put the link to the Android Market page for the app at the end of the reviews?

Many Android users (Unlike iPhone users (go on flame me)) remote-install apps via the website install button, this also helps if you are reading the article on your Android.

Egyptian ad gives Vodafone credit for revolution

Bad company all over

Their high data charges do not empower people.

Their lack of tax payments do not empower people.

Microsoft unveils Windows Phone 7 8

XP

Windows XP was short for Windows Experience... :-/

That unlock screen

Looks a lot like the one on Android...

What is UltraViolet™ and why should you care?

One Word...

Anticompetitive! I'd love to see Rupert's face.

Wave of Trojans breaks over Android

Scaremongering init

The moral of the story is, don't use an app when the web does it better and safer.

Apple sues teenager for white iPhone conversion kits

Wtf Apple!

He should have gone to the media! This is a 17 y/o ffs.

No other company would do this. Apple are as evil as the RIAA.

New Mac scareware variant installs without password

Anonymous Coward

Hey Ms Bee? Can we have a filter added to the comments, I find it hard to follow if the same Anonymous Coward is posting or multiple cowards, there are so many to scroll past....

35m Google Profiles dumped into private database

I don't have one

I use a large amount of Google services, but I don't have a Google Profile, these 35M users have the option of giving a shit about their online data like I do, they can read before they click, and they can secure their online data.

As other people have said, if you enter your information into a website you should expect it to be on a website, or you check how to make it secure.

Zuckerberg: Give me your children

...and there's nothing you can do to stop it!

Apart from being a responsible parent and not letting your kid use the Internet alone and not letting the little brat sign up for FB.

Radio 4 bumped off Freeview by Gaelic TV

Ofcom

I guess Ofcom could always release some of the digital dividend next year and sort this out by having a dedicated Mux for BBC radio...

Microsoft fails to turn punters on to WinPho 7

In reply

Surely Nintendo will own gaming. :P

Got it wrong

WinMo6.x was a business phone, WinPho7 is a consumer phone.

When they released the new OS they stopped making 6.5 devices and pissed off a lot of businesses who run custom apps which will not work on 7. It was a dumb move.

How do I know this? The 200 WinMo6.5 handsets in the cupboard behind me that were snapped up the week production ended. I would not be surprised to hear 6.5 is outselling 7.

Mumsnet founder: Our members are 'very keen' on PORN ...

Stop using the Internet as a babysitter

It's not Cbeebies!

Three to supply UK Chromebooks' 3G access

You can get a proper laptop for that!

Dear Google and Facebook: You don't want Skype

AT&T = Bye bye Skype

I agree completely, AT&T would love to shut down Skype.

DIY crimekit brings advanced malware to Mac OSX

I use both

I know how to do pretty much anything in Windows (10 years IT support) but would need to look up how to kill a task in OSX, its not something I have needed to know. So if I don't know it will less technical users?

Also PC's are available with Linux installed, Macs have a choice of OSX or OSX...

New double-barrelled Taser unveiled

Other models to consider

A model containing sand for the hard of hearing

Oracle tests find NFC lags in execution

Near Field Communication

El Reg has been banging on about it for quite some time. Also searching for it on this new fangled WWW (World Wide Web) can help you. Basically quit the moaning, you know this is a tech site. Blimey!

City of London takes non-profit to the cloud

Shadowy...

"There is an institution with a murky history and remarkable powers that acts like a political and financial island within our island nation state. Welcome to the Square Mile and the City of London Corporation."

The Sun still not shining on Nintendo's 3DS

The Sun

"Price had a high pulse and increasing blood pressure" Funnily enough reading The Sun has much the same effect on me. It also causes me more than "minor discomfort".

Commodore 64 revivalist posts prototype PC pics

Only one reason

To make money out of people who think a fitting tribute to a truly innovative machine is to shoehorn a low power PC into a mock-up of the great machine its self.

I'd rather spend an evening tinkering with the original, relearning long lost skills, but then I do consider myself a computer geek.

The Osborne 1: 30 years old this month

To errr

What's with saying 'build' rather than 'built' and the keyboard clearly connects with a ribbon cable... I dunno if there were more as I got scared when I heard it ran CP/M. :D

Microsoft files monopoly complaint against Google

No Microsoft, No!

When I install your OS's the built in browser defaults to MSN as the homepage and Bing as the search. I then choose to remove IE and install FF or Chrome which has Google search.

If it's a client PC which is required to use IE because of CRM's lock-in with IE I CHOOSE to change the search to Google because Bing can't even find Microsoft pages!

Wi-Fi security befuddles clueless home users

Vendor Qualifications

Vendors teach you where the tick boxes are that you need to tick, not why they are and why you need to tick them...

Nothing beats learning theory and working it out for yourself.
